My new Radio Flyer

[NoPower-NoResp]

I was eyeing up the radio flyers at Busfest but couldn't quite stomach the prices, so imagine how chuffed I am wit my latest Ebay purchase...

Only £38! Bargain!

Anyone know how I can tell it's vintage?

bargain!

I have been trying to work out if I can build one, just haven't found the right sized baking tray but for 38 notes... well done...

I would get some inflatable wheels though.

hi mate
i know yours is a late more modern one as it has a thin top lip and the plastic type wheels . that style with steel wheels was earlier roughly 80s etc then the early type had larger steel wheels and thicker top lip . really early ones had something similar to ribbed hubcaps and ribbed wheels and were often sloped from front to back . hope this helps ?
cheers steve

Thanks Junglemod, that's really helpful. I thought I probably hadn't stumbled across a rare antique, but it was worth checking. Its already getting a bit ratty!
